the first thing to know about lisbeth salander , and the one thing that stands out above all else is ; they are not ordinary. hardwired differently , with a laundry list of problems that people have used to justify salander’s ineptitude. and on the list of things that lisbeth had dealt with , this certainly does not rank up there.
pierced bottom lip caught between their teeth in contemplation. not an entirely unpleasant invitation , and not unpleasant company. lisbeth always worries how other people will view them. but facts about their life kept well hidden , not that appearances could always be considered flattering. they have been given an out , which lisbeth appreciates. hates being backed into a corner. acts much like an injured / feral animal when they are.
❛ okay. ❜ a minute nod of their head. the booth would also provide some protection against the crowd which they won’t turn down. does worry they won’t be the best company. already a surprise they have talked so much. could clam up at any moment. but they’ve also got friends that don’t mind the oddity that is lisbeth salander. anyone else's opinion is inconsequential.
the vestiges of a small smile and a shrug of leather coated shoulders is all lisbeth gives in combination to their acceptance.
okay, so not a talker. anna could work with that, she talked plenty as is --- so sharing the conversation would be a pain anyway. she’s still abuzz with energy from her show, the rounds of applause and the flowers thrown onto the stage ! can’t help the excitement that runs through her, the way her eyes glisten now that her contacts have been removed. she would nearly look normal if her celebrity status weren’t known to the two of them.
ponytail swings as she walks, gesturing for the other ( she’ll ask for a name in a hot minute, but what was really in a name anyway ? ) to follow her up the stairs to the vip booth. it was more of a room than anything. the security guy gets a smile and a wink as well as the soft words that the other was with her. he could take what he wanted about that. he was just doing his job after all and she had the money to smooth the way for them. she had bought out the vip area for the night after all.
there’s an unopened bottle of vodka on the table, but next to it lays an opened bottle of tequila. had she already hit the bottle a little ? possibly, but only in post show celebrational shots. ❝ me casa e su casa. take whatever you like ! ❞ it’s stuff she’ll pay for at the end of the night, as well as a large tip, but it’s chump change to her. styles of the rich and famous and all that. anna herself goes for the fireball whiskey, carefully pouring herself the scarcest amount, just to pluck at the senses.
her own smile is blinding as she sits down, legs crossing over one another. ❝ what did you like most about the show ? i’m always curious but i don’t quite get to ask as i’m being chased down the street after a show by photographers wanting a naughty shot. ❞
